Engine Cooling Taken Seriously - the Hyundai World Rally Championship Car's Cooling System

Note four coolers visible in this photo

If you ever wondered how World Rally Championship cars can run at such high speed and not break down, part of their durability is down to their very serious cooling systems.

The photo above is of the cooling setup on a Hyundai factory World Rally Championship car.

Note in the photo above that there are 4 coolers visible.

No doubt Hyundai designed the cooling setup based on which coolers they felt required priority in terms of the cool air.

Of primary interest is that it looks like the coolant radiator is placed last of all in the air stream, and as you can see in the photo there is very little area on the radiator that is not "shadowed" by coolers in front of it.

Water spray setup in front of the intercooler

In front of the intercooler, the car runs a water spray setup that increases the heat shedding ability of the intercooler.

Two water pumps inside the car

Inside the car are a pair of pumps for the water injection system.

Water pressure regulators

Shown above are a pair of water pressure regulators for the water system.

Utilising two water injection channels, external and internal

This engine bay photo above shows details on the water injection system that injects a fine mist of water into the intake tract.
